Roving Around
Now that Eisenhower has w'on
the presidential election — there’s
only one thing more that we want
to hear — Old Harry referred to
as EX-President Truman.
The results of the election was
actually a surprise to me, though
1 knew that ike was bound to get
a good popular vote throughout
the nation. N. C. was one of the
tew states giving Adlai its electoral
votes; and he probably got a big
ger plurality here than in any
other slate in the nation.
The strong Democratic vote in
N. C. shows to me the powerful
.andefficient organization that i>
functioning throughout the state
And Va. went strongly for i
senhower, at Sen. Harry Byre
request ■— so that also tends to
show the organization on the other
side of the political fence.
Tuesday, Nov. 4, marked the
end of an era in American history.
Exactly what we can expect is not
fully known — but apparently,
the better parts of the “New Deal”
regime will be combined with the
American tradition of “Free En
terprise” to give the entire popu
lace a better rounded out econom
ic, political and spiritual diet.
The Rock-Bound Republicans
have lost the election, just as surely
as has Stevenson — and this means
that the great mass of people who
think in the “middle of the road”
are taking over the government.
The Eisenhower landslide points
to the fact that the “solid” people
are back in the harness — and
the extremists in both directions,
radical and reactionary — must
take a back seat and let the people
run their own government for a
change.
Stevenson’s speech of concess
ion early Wednesday morning was-
its usual masterpiece. FTe appeared
to be taking it quite well, but I’ll
never forget the ending to his talk:
he told another little story-joke.
Attributing the story to Abe
Lincoln, Adlai said he felt like the
little boy who stubbed his toe in
the dark — too big to cry and
it hurts too much to laugh. This,
I think, is indicative of the great
ness of the man who lost the elec
tion — a great man in his own
right, but too saddled to the Tru-
manism to win over the wishes of
the people.
The best news of the election
is that Eisenhower will be assured

ANDERSON ASKS FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
The people of Wake Forest are
responding generously to their
Community Chest this year, re
ports Drive Chairman J. E. An
derson, but the fund is still shor
by $1500 of making the much-
needed goal.
This goal of $4550 MUST be
made if the needed projects ar'
to be carried out. Please do yo’'
part. Contribute now!
The shortage of funds will fo-
those in charge of distribution :
cut appropriations to each endeav
or, but, worst of all, the fund for
school lunches for the kids who
need food will also have to be cut
down greatly.
The workers have done a fine
job of soliciting, but there are still
some people in Wake Forest who
have not been contacted, for one
reason or another. Anderson, in
a statement to The Wake Weekly,
says:
“May I ask that you who have
not contributed, mail a check
to me or drop- by rny office (at
the Seaboard station) and give
me your contribution by the
end of the week?.’
If you haven’t given yet, or if
you would like to give more so
that the drive will go over the top,
then please see either J E Ander
son or Raymond Keith, or any
worker for the drive. Your con
tribution will be more than appre
ciated — it is needed!
